Carol Sheilds
I have been involved with Belgian Malinois since 1998, acquiring my first dog, UCD Tresbecc
Veagas Lights CD, NAP, NJP as an obedience prospect. During the first 3 years of owning
Veagas, my husband and I were given a finished champion bitch named Ch Tresbecc Mo’ Than
Enough. That is when I was first introduced to the world of Conformation Showing. Belle was a
wonderful teacher and in 2001 I campaigned her to the number 2 Malinois Bitch in the country,
earning her invitation to the first Eukanuba Invitational.
As time moved forward I began to show on a more frequent basis and to date have finished to
their Championship 6 of dogs we either own or bred. Shown only by me, my first home-bred, Ch.
Tresbecc Phantom Image CD, RA, ATTs HSAs,HTD1, began his show career at the age of 6
months and was an undefeated champion one month later.
Our dogs compete under the kennel name of “CF Phantom” not only in Conformation, but also
have successful achievements in Herding, Obedience and Agility.
I have taught show handling for approximately 5 years and have had the honor to judge “All
Breed Matches” for the Monmouth County Kennel Club, Twin Brooks Kennel Club and the
Empire Alaskan Malamute Club. In 2009 I will be judging the Sweepstake entry for the Berkshire
Belgian Tervuren Specialty.
My students have been successful showing and handling their own dogs and most recently one
has garnered the most sort after title, that of “Best in Show”
Our current K9 household consists of 8 Malinois:

Renee Shriver
During my childhood I spent a lot of time around dog training and dog shows with my family so it
is no wonder that as an adult when reintroduced to dog training I fell in love with it. I train my
dogs in obedience, rally, agility, pet therapy, canine freestyle, herding, lure coursing and tricks.
When I started training my first canine partner to dance it soon became obvious that dancing
with two left feet is possible.
I have two dogs that are currently certified with Therapy Dogs International. In the past 5 years
my dogs and I have spent over 1,000 hours making visits to schools, Girl Scout troops, libraries,
hospitals, nursing homes, teaching dog etiquette to children, giving demonstrations and more. I
teach my dog’s tricks and canine musical freestyle to enhance their therapy visits.
Currently I teach pet obedience, pet therapy, and canine freestyle and tricks classes. Also I give
private lessons to help handlers who are encountering issues in the transition from the
classroom to real life performance of working as a therapy dog team. I am an evaluator for AKC’
s Canine Good Citizen & Star Puppy programs. Previously I was an assistant regional director
and evaluator for Bright & Beautiful Therapy Dogs, Inc. While working at my previous school I
helped teach hundreds of dogs to perform the job of pet therapist.
I have also worked with rescue groups and have done fostering to help dogs along the road to
recovery so they could learn to be good family members so that they could go on to their forever
homes.
